Little Feat Say Farewell at the Ryman with Maggie Rose
Some bands you make sure to catch while you still can. On September 10, the legendary Little Feat bring The Last Farewell Tour to the Ryman Auditorium, with Maggie Rose along for the ride. For a band that has been a musician's favorite for more than five decades, a farewell run at the Ryman is a fitting place to say goodbye.
Who Are Little Feat?
Little Feat are one of American music's great cult institutions, a band that fused rock, funk, blues, country, and New Orleans groove into a sound all their own. Formed in the early 1970s, they built a fierce live reputation that made them a touchstone for generations of players. Their catalog is deep, their musicianship is legendary, and their loose, improvisational shows have long been the stuff of tape-trading lore. This tour is billed as a farewell, which makes every date on it feel significant.
Why This Show Is Worth It
Little Feat have always been about the live experience, the interplay between players, the extended jams, the way a song can go somewhere new every night. Hearing that in a room as acoustically pristine as the Ryman is a gift. Add Maggie Rose, a Nashville favorite with a big, soulful voice of her own, and you have an opening set worth arriving early for. If this really is the last time around, it is a chance to be part of a proper send-off.
The Venue: The Ryman Auditorium
The Ryman is famous for making great bands sound even better. Its wooden pews, intimate scale, and celebrated acoustics create a listening environment that rewards exactly the kind of nuanced, groove-driven playing Little Feat are known for. Every seat has a clear view, and the room's history adds weight to a night already heavy with meaning.
Before and After the Show
Downtown Nashville surrounds the venue, so your options are wide open. Grab a bite at Fifth + Broadway or the Assembly Food Hall next door, or settle into a sit-down spot in SoBro or Printers Alley beforehand. Lower Broadway's honky-tonks are a short walk away if you want to keep the music going after the show. Doors typically open an hour or so before the headliner.
Getting There and Parking
Downtown garages near Fifth + Broadway and the convention center are your best bet, but they fill up on event nights, so arrive early or use a rideshare. If you are staying downtown, the Ryman is an easy walk.
